[Numpy-discussion] genloadtxt: second serving

[Jarrod Millman]

I am not familiar with this, but it looks quite useful:
http://www.stecf.org/software/PYTHONtools/astroasciidata/
or (http://www.scipy.org/AstroAsciiData)

"Within the AstroAsciiData project we envision a module which can be
used to work on all kinds of ASCII tables. The module provides a
convenient tool such that the user easily can:

    * read in ASCII tables;
    * manipulate table elements;
    * save the modified ASCII table;
    * read and write meta data such as column names and units;
    * combine several tables;
    * delete/add rows and columns;
    * manage metadata in the table headers."

Is anyone familiar with this package?  Would make sense to investigate
including this or adopting some of its interface/features?
